re: Spin off from OT "coolest thing you did w legit sports star" LSU athletes ONLY

was at legend's two years ago upstairs and this jacked up 6'2ish guy walks up to the bar next to me. he starts talking to me about the game etc. didn't recognize so i said to him that he had to have played football at lsu. he had a great response and said that he didn't but was on the chess team. keep talking to him and it was shedrick wilson. ended up buying each other a couple of rounds. really really nice guy. haven't seen him there since.

played ball with cyrus black, herman johnson, and a few other players all the time in the rec
it sucked balls when i was the biggest and had to guard them... walk out the gym drenched in sweat

one time joe addai came back to the rec to hang out with a few of them shortly after he won the super bowl with the colts, got to congratulate him and take a look at his ring
that same day T. Thomas and a few other basketball players were playing a pickup game in the rec with a few football players like big herm, c. black and that shitty little white basketball player LSU had at the time, Greg Terrebone. I swear T.Thomas threw his layups onto the upstairs track TWICE. fricking hilarious.

also went over to a buddy's place a few times who used to have dwayne bowe and a few other receivers over there playing halo all the time, i've never seen guys talk so much shite over a video game
there were always girls sitting in chairs off in the corner of the room just silent waiting for them to finish playing halo so they could leave

dwayne bowe was probably the coolest i've met and talked to
and i swear i didn't go to tiger land and NOT see justin vincent in there my entire time at LSU

oh yea and had a class with tasmin mitchell ... that dude was D-U-M-B

Oh yea, I worked out next to Jordan Jefferson at the Venue (his girl lived there). He put the tredmill on the highest speed and the steepest incline and fell off the damn thing. I yelled at him "PLEASE don't get hurt!"

Sat next to Warren Morris in a Georaphy class. He would sometimes let me copy his homework. Nice guy.

Shedrick is an awesome guy.

I officiated the Opelousas/St. Thomas More game Devery's senior year. We had a couple of young guys on our crew and before the game we told them that whatever happens, when #(whatever he was) has the ball you never blow your whistle. So of course during the game we had a play where he ran up the middle and looked like he was stopped. All of a sudden he is around the right side and gone 60 plus yards down the sideline for a TD. Devery was the fastest high school player I ever saw.

Sat with TJ Pugh for the womens gymnastics meets cheering on the flexible hotties(hhwhite wonen) for a couple seasons. Geert Hammink and Vernell Singleton stopped by a few times. Geert sat in two rows.

had Rudy Mac, Cookie Man and a couple of others show up at a jungle juice party @ Kirby Smith back in the day

Shot tequilla with Pedro Suarez...

Winner!



Here's 2 honorable mentions:
In the late '70's John Garlington was good friends with my HS basket ball coach and would work out with us during basketball practice. For you young folks who don't know who John Garlington is, he was an All-American in the late '60's.

Charlie Hennigan would come to my grandparent's house and then later to our house on some holidays. He was raised down the street from my dad's parents in Minden. He went to LSU on a track scholarship and was a member of the 1954 SEC Conference Champion Mile-Relay Team. He transferred to NSU at the end of his freshmen year because they wouldn't let him play football. He later went on to the AFL and was a record setting receiver. It was cool for a young kid to visit with an AFL star.
